Hi all, I have been using FreeBSD on desktop for about 10 years. I fell in love with the ports collection after running into binary package hell with Redhat linux in the early 2000s, and decided it would make an interesting desktop OS as well.
My only problem with FreeBSD as a desktop is video drivers. Nvidia are the only ones doing a half decent 3D accelerated desktop and I'm stuck with binary drivers. I was hoping that with AMD open sourcing the drivers for ATI cards things would get better, but not luck on that front just yet. Also the fact that FreeBSD has root ZFS pool support makes things rather easy on the maintenance front.
